He was born in Ludgo Parish, which is now part of Nyköping Municipality, became a student in 1908, studying in both Uppsala and Stockholm. He was later employed at a second-hand bookshop in Stockholm. Adelborg resembles Søren Kierkegaard, Carl Jonas Love Almquist, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Vilhelm Ekelund in having published essays with primarily psychological content and religious meditations. Among these are ''Om det personligt andliga'' (1907), ''Våga, vedervåga'' (1908) and the personal confession ''Afsides'' (1923).

He published very few works; his first three are hard to read, after which he evolved a clear language in which to express his convictions with "almost childlike seriousness". G ...
